This f/w is not for Malaysia. It is for Taiwan. If the loaded with that f/w, all MMS and GPRS setting will change to Taiwan Telco.
And it might have some network issue cause the Telco setting is different from Malaysia Telco. If any of the local phone had loaded with non-Malaysia version software, it consider warranty void. The software had been tampered. *got the above info from Southall*

I just got this phone from Thailand, but I live in Denmark. And it is not on the danish market, so this is the only place that I can seek help... My question is, can I change the language pack to danish?

I am writing from M'sia, so this is only applicable to Malaysians with A20.

1. U can just return A20 to the shop & ask them to get the phone upgraded. They will sent to the service centre to get it f/w upgraded. All this will take 3-5 days. If u stay in Selangor, go to Southall (Innostream service centre) in Kelana Jaya. The phone/address is stated on your warranty card. The f/w upgrade will take only 1 hr since it's a walk-in.

2. U can buy the screen protector from any phone shop. Just make sure it's crystal view brand. The phone guy will help u to stick the protector.

3. As for the new f/w, pls take note!!!:

It seems that more people are getting this phone, and are satisfied with it. Nice to hear.

Here, I'm going to sum up some tips and information that I hope can help you guys with using this phone.

To check firmware, simply push *888*837# Me and a couple other here seems to have firmware from october, and that might be the latest one.. if anybody has newer, please tell.

JavaGames
To install javagames, make sure that you get both the .jar and .jad files. Simply copy these files to your memorycard or phone memory and choose install from the filemanager. After installing, you can delete these files if you want. The games can be find in the javalist, not in the games list. Not all of the games out there are compatible with this phone.http://v300.motofan.ru/index.php
All the games from this page works fine, so just enjoy =) Many great wallpapers to be found here too.

About mp3-soundquality.. When listening with loudspeakers, remember to have normal settings on the equalizer so you wont get cracking sounds.. but please choose the equalizersettings that suits you best when using the headsett, great bundle headsett by the way..

If you dislike the sounds of the startup and closing theme.. simply close the flip when the sound starts playing.

Besides from image and musicfiles, this phone can also show .txt files. This is nice in case you have to carry some important documents.

PC-sync software can be downloaded at www.innostream.com.

To convert movies to mp4.. simply use imtoo mpeg encoder.. you will find this program by searching on the internet.. i can't provide you with serialkey, but its not too difficult to find if you search a little.. sorry. You will get best results with a resolution of 176x144 and videobitrate somewhere between 128-200. Good luck with this.. the phone is really good to show fullscreen movies.

You can hide the clock/date by pushing the downvolume once.. same to get the clock/date to show up again.. hold down upvolume to go to silence mode, same procedure to turn it off.

1GB mmc memorycard works fine with this phone, so just get one if you want :)

The autoresponse is very handy and easy to use, your own answering machine.

To use picturecalling id on the contactlist.. its best to have pictures at 96x96. You can use the phonecam to takes pictures on this resolution too. It will show up fullscreen on the external screen when you receive a call from that person.

Even though this phone has 262k colours, same amount as the SE w800i, but when comparing the same wallpaper in them two phones, I found the SE had more vivid colours, but the a20 has better contrast and bigger screen. So its not bad, and the mp3quality when using headsett is really hard to judge which is better since the quality is very good on both.. but i could swear the a20 had better bass :D

This was all the tips I can think of right now. Good luck with the phone everybody. I've had this phone since september, and still very satisfied with it =)
